No coastal interior is complete without a decked-out coastal bathroom. Bathrooms may not be the first thing you see when you step foot in a home, but it’s tucked-away places like these that bring your home’s aesthetic together.

What’s nice? Coastal style is sleek, recognizable, and clearly defined, so crafting a coastal bathroom shouldn’t be all that difficult. Stick to beach-inspired colors, optimize for breezy vibes, and sneak in little luxuries that’ll turn your bathroom into a getaway. 

With a little care and creativity, you can design a coastal bathroom that feels like its own vacation destination, and the following coastal bathroom ideas will show you exactly how to pull that off. 

01 Stick to Classic Coastal Colors

Coastal design is known for its iconic beachy palette, so set the scene with a few seaside colors. Stock up on oceany blues, sandy beiges, and crisp seafoam whites. And if you’re craving a pop of color, a sunny yellow or a playful orange should do.

02 Stock Up on Beachy Photographs

One particularly easy way to make your bathroom feel more coastal? Stock up on beachy photographs. Sure, the decorative accent is a little obvious. But it’s a classic for a reason: It will immediately transport you and your houseguests to the beach.

03 Keep It Airy With White Walls

Capture coastal design’s classically breezy feel by painting your walls white. This simple choice should leave your bathroom feeling bright and airy—and it should give you the sleek backdrop you need to play with vibrant colors and beachy textures.

04 Decorate With Pampas Grass

Flower-filled vases put the finishing touches on any space. But since you’re crafting a coastal bathroom, consider trading garden-picked flowers for a beachier plant, like pampas grass.

05 Snag a Rustic Bath Stool

Looking for a way to add flexibility to your bathroom? Snag a bath stool. The shower-friendly stools are perfect for seating, storage, and more. And if you score a particularly rustic option—one that resembles driftwood—you’ll end up with an accent that ties your beachy space together.

06 Put Woven Baskets Everywhere

Every bathroom deserves a solid organization system. And if you want a storage set-up that can double as décor, consider stocking up on small woven baskets that you can stack, place on your shelves, or tuck inside your drawers.

07 Add a Wall Sconce

08 Load Up on Greenery

The best coastal spaces make you feel connected to nature even when there’s no beach in sight, so stock up on greenery, and bring the outdoors to you. Obviously, featuring beachy plants is the easiest way to capture some seaside ambiance. But even less traditional plants can feel beachy when surrounded by classic coastal colors.

09 Add a Mirror

Installing irregular mirrors in the bathroom adds a modern, stylish look, creates visual interest, enlarges the space, reflects more light, and enhances the overall aesthetic. They also offer a unique focal point and allow for better angles during grooming.

10 Sneak in Pops of Personality

Being playful isn’t just about snagging the kitschiest décor you can find—it’s about making surprising choices that’ll put a smile on your face every time you see them. So line the back of your shelves with printed wallpaper, or tuck pretty rocks next to your vases and towels.
